State Library Launches Website Listing Resources Available to Those in Need

As an aid to Maine families struggling with difficult financial circumstances, the Maine State Library has launched a website providing a list of resources available for those in need. This site is intended to serve as a centralized website to guide the public to Maine State government and non-profit agencies that offer assistance. The site also includes a directory of Maine's local public libraries, which often have additional, more localized information available. Public libraries are supplying Mainers with resources on resumes and job hunting, small business start-up, personal finance, stretching grocery dollars, do-it-yourself home and auto repairs, and improving job skills or learning new ones. This site is available at http://www.maine.gov/msl/services/toughtimes.shtml. in an email from Rep. David Cotta
